Spectrum of cytokeratin-positive cells in the bone marrows of colorectal carcinoma patients.
BACKGROUND Bone marrow micrometastases (BMM) is considered to be of interest as a prognostic marker in solid tumors. The use of density-gradient separated bone marrow (BM) aspirates does not allow proper morphological characterization of the cells. An alternative approach, using routinely processed clots of BM aspirates, is presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS BM clots from 56 colorectal carcinom...
متن کاملP53 mutations in primary and metastatic tumors and circulating tumor cells from colorectal carcinoma patients.
Circulating tumor cells could provide a relatively noninvasive and repeatable source of information about tumor cell genotype that might influence treatment and estimation of prognosis. We developed a technique for identifying p53 mutations in tumor cells isolated from the peripheral venous blood of colorectal cancer patients and compared the prevalence and position of these mutations with mult...
متن کاملImmune Humanization of Immunodeficient Mice Using Diagnostic Bone Marrow Aspirates from Carcinoma Patients
Tumor xenografts in immunodeficient mice, while routinely used in cancer research, preclude studying interactions of immune and cancer cells or, if humanized by allogeneic immune cells, are of limited use for tumor-immunological questions. Here, we explore a novel way to generate cancer models with an autologous humanized immune system. We demonstrate that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Isolated from Human Bone Marrow and Wharton’s Jelly
Introduction: Bone marrow (BM) is a known source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are used for cell therapy. This study attempts to identify if the Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) is a suitable substitute for BM as a source for MSCs. Materials and Methods: A population of human WJ and BM stem cells were isolated and incubated with fluorescein conjugated antibodies for five specific MSC markers....
متن کاملHarvesting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from live rats and the in vitro differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells
In the bone marrow, there are certain populations of stem cell sources with the capacity to differentiate into several different types of cells. Ideally, cell transplants would be readily obtainable, easy to expand and bank, and capable of surviving for sufficient periods of time. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) possess all of these characteristics. One of the most important benefi...
